Spooky

I had good intentions of shooting pictures at some of the older churches, houses and grave yards this week but just never found the time. I love old grave stones and have rubbings from some that date back to the early 1800's from family graves in Maine.

Anyway, Dorie, Althea and Becki and I were on the way home this past Monday when we had to make a diaper changing stop and I pulled onto the shoulder of the road next to this old building.

After altering it to make it black and white and blurring the edges I felt it looked a little spooky and a little sad.

Patterns Around My Town

Well I finally left home today to take a few shots for this weeks My Town Shootout. Hope you all enjoy!

A selection of quilts made by the Mennonites in Barnwell County.

As you can see there are various patterns for quilts.

A close up of the fabric pattern and the quilting pattern (lines of hand stitching) that was used in a quilt.

Rows of homemade jams form a pattern on the shelf.

A closeup of the pattern used to form my wicker love seat.

Bottled sodas line up in pattern in a game of ring toss.

Pam chose a wonderful patterned fabric and pattern to make Althea's Halloween dress.

Dorie and Berley Linder became friends when she was just 1 year old; his kindness and generosity have followed a wonderful pattern through the years and Dorie can't go to town without stopping by to see him.
